Syrupy, spiced, and made for oat milk, the iced brown sugar latte became a modern classic almost overnight. It tastes like a cozy autumn moment — except served over ice, which makes it dangerously drinkable in summer too.
Why brown sugar + oat milk
Brown sugar brings molasses depth and a syrupy mouthfeel that white sugar can't. Oat milk's natural sweetness and full body complement those toasty notes, and a pinch of cinnamon ties it all together.
Ingredients (1 drink)
- 36–40g espresso (double shot)
- 12g brown sugar (1 tbsp)
- A small pinch of cinnamon (optional)
- 120g ice
- 150ml oat milk
How to make it
- Pull a double shot of espresso.
- Stir the brown sugar (and cinnamon) into the hot espresso until fully dissolved.
- Fill a tall glass with ice and pour the sweetened espresso over it.
- Add oat milk and stir well.
Pro tips
- Dissolve the sugar in warm espresso — brown sugar won't blend well in cold milk.
- A natural-process bean keeps its fruit and body even with sugar and milk.
- Want it extra? Add a dash of cinnamon on top after pouring the milk.
Key takeaways
- Brown sugar adds molasses depth that white sugar can't.
- Oat milk's sweetness pairs naturally with brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Dissolve the sugar in warm espresso before icing.
